2" Housings (P17, B17, SS577)
- No built-in valve: a separate valve sleeve slides into the housing.
- On the ST850 the valve sleeve can be removed if necessary.
- On ST650 installs the installer slides the valve sleeve in during installation (the chart prints this housing as "SS557" in the ST650 column).
Smaller Housings (P120, B120, SS521)
- P120, B120 and SS521 plastic housings used with the ST800 have a built-in valve that cannot be removed.
- In the ST600 column: the plastic P120 has a built-in, non-removable valve; the bronze B120 has no valve.
